| Obverse description | Crude hammered field displaying the fractional denomination '1/8' above the abbreviation 'St' (for Stuiver), all rendered in a rough, primitive style typical of VOC colonial coinage struck at the Jaffna Mint. The characters are boldly incuse within a roughly circular flan, with no border legend. The overall execution reflects the utilitarian nature of small-denomination copper coinage produced for local circulation in Ceylon. |
